Required for association of the 30S and 50S subunits to form the 70S ribosome, for tRNA binding and peptide bond formation. It has been suggested to have peptidyltransferase activity; this is somewhat controversial. Makes several contacts with the 16S rRNA in the 70S ribosome (By similarity).[HAMAP-Rule:MF_01320_A] Evolutionary Conservation Check, as determined by ConSurfDB. You may read the explanation of the method and the full data available from ConSurf. Publication Abstract from PubMed Negamycin, a small-molecule inhibitor of protein synthesis, binds the Haloarcula marismortui 50S ribosomal subunit at a single site formed by highly conserved RNA nucleotides near the cytosolic end of the nascent chain exit tunnel. The mechanism of antibiotic action and the function of this unexplored tunnel region remain intriguingly elusive. Negamycin binds to the wall of the nascent chain exit tunnel of the 50S ribosomal subunit.,Schroeder SJ, Blaha G, Moore PB Antimicrob Agents Chemother. 2007 Dec;51(12):4462-5. Epub 2007 Jul 30.
